What in the fuck is wrong with you people? Did any of you watch the video!? There are two orange things in front of the cage. He's pointing at them, and at his palm. He thinks it's food and wants the humans to hand it over. He is not asking them to undo the bolts.
The reaction I see all over the web to this video makes me weep for humanity's dull perception. I also want to punch the guy in front who thinks he's communicating with the chimp.

Well-then get off your lazy butt and go to the zoo and let them know that you CAN understand the chimp. With the great power of chimp-whispering comes great responsibility. Don't squander your talent, chimps round the world need you!


You mean the great power of opening my fucking eyes to what's obvious?

I think you're right.

Yes watched in 1080p and got the same feeling you get from those videos of the Russian kids playing on the crane... sweaty-palmed, ass-puckering fear.

The perfect antidote to seeing some guy getting a giant blister lanced on his palm.

I've heard when they backtalk like this you pop them on the muzzle with your palm and wave your finger at them.

I guess I'm in the opposite camp as I only go for all natural peanut butter. I can't stand the taste of processed peanut butters anymore. It's the different oils (palm, cottonseed, rapeseed, soybean) that most manufacturers use; it does give the peanut butter an off taste, at least to me. Regarding the oil on top of natural peanut butters, that's just due to settling. Just pour off half of it and take five minutes to mix it up with the rest of the jar, you get a nice, thick, rich peanut butter that isn't going anywhere.

Also, I implore you to take a chance and spread your favorite peanut butter over a grilled hamburger one day. I had the same reaction until I tried it. C'est magnifique!

Damn.


Ant,

Take all of this with a grain of salt. Coming out of the theater I didn't think it was the "fantastic" movie the hype made it out to be. But, I did think it was a good movie. It was entertaining and the cinematography was brilliant. I felt they did an excellent job of using their CGI budget to immerse you in their world, thus drawing you into the film.

The part about the stupidity of the crew and their actions are all true. Characters do things that make you face-palm... But hey, what Sci-fi movie doesn't have those characters? If everyone behaved exactly how you would expect them to, films would be extremely boring.

I actually believe to a certain extent this is done on purpose. Every time a crew member would do something like stick his face close to something that looks like it could pop makes you think, "No, no, no.... why? oh god what's going to happen!? YOU ARE STUPID!" Sometimes something happens, other times it does not. It builds suspense in the movie. The fact that you know the actions of a character will probably have negative consequences puts you on the edge of your seat. If instead of touching the "alien goo" they said, "Hey lets get a robot with a 10 foot pole and extract it remotely from the ship because it would be way safer." it would be utterly boring and mind numbing to watch. You can't have a sci-fi suspense movie where everyone makes the best and safest decision possible.

My best advice is to just go into the movie wanting to be entertained. Laugh at the dumb things people do and enjoy the CGI world along with the neat future technology / heads-up displays.

If this was Palm Springs, FL and not Palm Springs, CA, then she'd be ok, he was wearing a hoodie.






Yes, I know it was filmed in London, England. I was making a Trayvon joke. Yeesh.

Excellent cinematography! Clever use of lighting...no small feat considering it was filmed in a parking garage.

Good luck in Palm Springs!!

Sweaty palms!

*sweaty palms

I got a prickly pear cactus driven into the palm of my hand once and it hurt bad. I can't imagine the pain this little guy was in.
